It's under way, I believe, but Sun aren't talking much about what they're up 
to.  They keep saying they're gonna support Xen, so I guess we'll see the 
code at some point - they may just want to announce it at some commercially 
significant time like a developer conference, new release, trade show, etc.

It *ought* to run unmodified under VT/Pacifica mode anyhow, but I don't know 
if anyone has got this working.

Cheers,
Mark
